About
PAUME

WINNER Best Luxe Hand Sanitizer at the 2021 HelloGiggles Beauty Crush Awards. 

PAUME launched in late 2020 with one product, the PAUME Antibacterial Hand Gel. The awardwinning formula, which features 69% ethyl alcohol, moisturizing plant-based emollients including Safflower Oil, Aloe Vera, Witch Hazel, and the PAUME Signature Blend of five essential oils with notes of woody cedar, crisp citrus, and herbaceous lavender and rosemary, is the antidote to the harsh, astringent, utilitarian hand sanitizers that have become ubiquitous.

The PAUME system works to clean, protect, and nourish hands ethically and sustainably. The refillable PAUME Pump is thoughtfully designed to look elegant in an entryway, bathroom, or nursery, and the PAUME Refill Bag is packaged in 17 oz pouches that produce 60% less plastic waste than a bottle. Each Refill Bag fills the PAUME Pump twice and the PAUME Travel Bottle five times. PAUME’s packaging materials, including the shipping box, tissue, welcome card, and stickers, are made with materials and inks that are either previously recycled, recyclable, biodegradable or reusable. In addition, PAUME’s packaging is plastic neutral through its partnership with rePurpose Global—a percentage of each sale funds the removal of plastic waste from landfills, waterways, and marine environments where they are recycled and repurposed.

“The mission of PAUME is to create hand care products that are purposeful and indulgent,” says Amy. “Taking care of our hands has become an essential part of our daily routines, and it should be an experience that feels good on multiple levels. I’m so proud of what we’ve accomplished thus far, and I’m excited for the next stage of PAUME as we expand into new categories and reach new customers.”

PAUME // FOUNDER

AMY WELSMAN

The idea for PAUME first came to me over a year ago, when my husband and I brought our newborn daughter home from the hospital. Being a new parent really heightened my awareness of germs. Since I didn’t want to wash my hands with soap and water, we stocked our home with plenty of hand sanitiser, and we offered it to friends and family when they came to visit. I soon realised that most hand sanitisers have a few things in common: they were harsh on the skin, they smelled terrible, and they were packaged in unappealing, disposable plastic. It inspired me to create a unique, effective, nourishing formula with packaging that’s both elegant and sustainable.

It’s been a year of bringing PAUME to life. Now more than ever, we need products that are good for our bodies and mindful of the planet. We need to protect our hands, so we can remain in touch with our loved ones and our communities.

Antibacterial Hand Gel Travel Bottle

Whether you keep it on your desk or pack it in your carry-in, this chic bottle will make you feel ready for any adventure. PAUME is a hand sanitiser that nourishes as it protects. 

Antibacterial Hand Gel Refill

Our philosophy is refill, reuse, recycle and the Refill Bag is the pillar of our operation. This 17oz Refill Bag is a low waste way to refill your travel bottle and PAUME pump. 1 Refill bag = 5 travel bottles. Say hello to the future of hand sanitiser.
